Star Magical Christmas 2023: Kapamilya stars in their most festive looks
ABS-CBN's Star Magic celebrated the holidays with its annual Star Magical Christmas event, where its talented artists dazzled and "sleigh-ed" the runway with their captivating Yuletide costumes.
Embracing the theme of "Everything Christmas," artists transformed the white carpet into a winter wonderland last Sunday, Nov. 19, at the Marriott Hotel in Pasay City, showcasing their festive spirit through an array of creative costumes—from literal reindeer and Santa Clauses to shimmering gowns that captured the essence of the holiday season. Some of them even generously brought stuffed toys with them to share with the kids of Bantay Bata 163.
